Looking for a replacement lens for a Contaflex I (at least the front element) 45mm f2.8 Tessar.

Also, looking for a Hi Matic E with electrical still intact. Mine is in mint condition, but the wiring is nearly completely rotten.

I thought of your post when I came across this. It may go pretty cheap.

Thanks for the tip.
I have already purchased a parts camera for the lens, but I am still waiting for it, Hopefully it will be in good shape (the seller says it is).
I find the shipping costs for the Goodwill auctions to be way too high. They want $65 to ship that camera to me.

Yikes - I can get it shipped to me for 11.25, but I have no idea how much from me to you in CA.

Hopefully the parts camera you get will fix you up.

I have a Hi-Matic E which exposes perfectly, but the auto flash circuit doesn't seem to work (flashes work fine on manual 'tho). Would you be interested in it?

Thanks for the offer, but I have already found a parts camera and re-built it.
